Tips

• A grass tile can be foraged and botanized every 24 real hours. It is not a verified fact, but it is believed that the 24-hour timer on a tile is triggered upon the attempt, and not when/if an item is actually found. Therefore if nothing is found, try another tile instead of repeatedly trying the same one.
• Tiles that are not foraged or botanized for long periods of time (a week or longer) have a higher chance of getting something than tiles that are checked 24 to 36 hours apart.
• It is possible to both forage and botanize on the same tile as these actions are on seperate timers.
• It also seems that there is a higher chance of getting something if a grass tile with flowers on it is foraged or botanized.
• Higher skill reduces the action timer and increases the average QL of the items found.
• Tree tiles cannot be botanized on.
